Re: Is a dimmer switch on the mini bot legal?

The one that my teammates picked out is one of the round ones that when you ouch it down it will turn off the light. Thinking the way I do I thought about the legality of the switch. Legal or not?
I see no reason why it would not be legal. I'm assuming from your description you are using a dimmer not for its dimming characteristics, but the push button on/off nature of it. Nice thinking. Might want to lock it somehow into the full on setting so it doesn't rotate on you.
